A substantial Tudor-revival detached house set on very large landscaped gardens, 26 Mortimer Road offers genuinely generous family accommodation across c.3,190 sq ft. The home currently provides four bedrooms (with a fifth/dressing room option), three bathrooms, multiple reception rooms, a conservatory and a large double garage with a room above and workshop — excellent scope for a home office or hobby space.
The property requires updating and renovation throughout: windows, fixtures and finishes are dated and some rooms need modernising. The room above the garage has restricted headroom and the house currently has an Energy Rating D. Council tax sits above average and broadband speeds are slow, so buyers who need high-speed connectivity or the highest energy efficiency should budget for improvements.
For families the location is strong — very low local crime, good nearby primary schools and a village setting within easy reach of Market Drayton and major road links (A53, A41; commutable to Stafford, Stoke, Crewe). The plot’s mature trees, orchard area, pond, greenhouse and shaped lawns create privacy and excellent outdoor space for children and pets.
This is a rare opportunity to create a long-term family home in a sought-after estate. Buyers looking for spacious rooms, character features and significant outdoor space will see clear potential; those seeking a turnkey property should note the renovation requirement and factor refurbishment costs into their plans.
